Explore.gre.ac.uk: new frontiers in open online learning at the University of Greenwich

Greenwich Explore is an open online learning initiative developed by the EDU and ILS, in collaboration with a community of Greenwich academics. By offering a selection of free online taster courses, the initiative seeks to embrace contemporary trends in digital learning, while expanding the university's potential for outreach and social mobility. The application of an evidence-based approach to learning design has been central to the course development process. This has ensured that all Greenwich Explore courses are grounded in effective pedagogical principles. Whilst still in proof of concept mode, with a launch planned in the Spring term, we hope that this project will raise the profile of our excellent and diverse disciplinary expertise in new digital spaces.  Alongside a presentation of the initiative, delegates will be invited to taste and evaluate explore.gre.ac.uk. * Please note delegates should bring an internet enabled device to this session
